Brookmans Park in Welwyn Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England sits on gently rolling high ground in the county’s green belt, tucked between Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and Potters Bar and within easy commuting distance of London. The village has a suburban-yet-rural feel, with mature trees, open parkland and pockets of farmland and woodland that give it a quieter character than nearby towns.
Historically it developed as a 20th-century commuter settlement and today is largely residential, with local shops, clubs, a golf course and active community groups. A notable local landmark is the early BBC transmitting station on the hill above the village, which underlines Brookmans Park’s surprising role in broadcasting history alongside its more domestic, community-focused life.
